On Saturday, August 6th, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. two local women (Bev Owens and Barb Mater) will lead a drum circle for those interested in participating. A drum circle is any group of people playing (usually) hand-drums and percussion in a circle. They are distinct from a drumming group or troupe in that the drum circle is an end in itself rather than preparation for a performance. They can range in size from a handful of players to a circle with thousands of participants. The main objective is to share rhythm and get in tune with each other and themselves. At some point, the drumming stops and the storytelling begins. Then, it’s back to drumming, to center the consciousness of the group.

This is a follow-up to the previous drum making classes we have held. Join us at Wayne Arts for a fun time by all. Registration requested. This event is provided by a grant through the Robert G. Boehmler Foundation. The circle will be $5.00 for the class.
